Cool pics Marc. It's nice to see how big they actually are. Nature shows use so many close-ups that you never get a true indication of size. Weasels do live on The Island but I don't know if I've ever seen one. They are small.

I remember seeing a disembodied rooster pheasant head bobbing down a snowy ditch one Deember in North Dakota. I turned around, drove back, making sure I was not hallucinating. Sure enough, no pheasant body, just the head. And it was bopping down the ditch!
I jumped out of the vehicle and when I got close enough I could see it was a winter phase weasel carrying the pheasant head! Being in his white winter phase, he was well camouflaged against the snow.
Marc St Louis:
He was back at lunch time but he stayed on the ground/snow picking up what was down there, I guess he was too traumatized
DC:
Fool me once......... :D

We saw one up in the mountains once when we were cross-country skiing. It was carrying a dead vole. When it saw us, it showed no fear, but dropped the vole and very deliberately looked us over. It was almost as if it were sizing us up as potential prey. After a few seconds, it appeared to think, "Nah, not worth the fight," picked up its vole and went on its way.
